It's the science of phrenology! Though up until recently, the orthodox D&D position was based on the science of history (dialectical materialism). Superstitions flourishing under a revisionist regime is to be expected, I suppose. I yearn for the days when we have a sunshine policy so we can better see who reported on us during the dark purges of SA's past.

Shbobdb posted:Chinese zodiac man. You get an animal and an element based on what year you were born. You can go a lot deeper if you want to, it's astrology so there is a lot of stuff. If we're going to deep dive into where "Gen X" ends and "Millennial" begins with a "Xennial" bridge why not just use astrology? It all has the same accuracy. Possibly more! I laughed when I saw that fire dogs need to be careful not to over eat junk food. I mean... one uses the position of stars and poo poo to try and assign character traits across centuries, and one refers to the socio-technological conditions on earth which affect the experience of people growing up, and even then it's not necessarily proscriptive

I’m still reeling from Rubio’s claim that the purpose of capitalism is to give people dignified work. He would’ve made more sense had he claimed the purpose of the sun is to bathe the planet in darkness.

They really don't care about reality. How do you debate people that fundamentally disagree about what reality is? It just seems like we are talking past each other and there is no way to convince these folks that they may be wrong and to follow the evidence. Any ideas on how to deal with this? I'd like to be able to talk to my family about politics at some point but its so frustrating when we can't agree on what is real.

Boomers are the weird one because they're they're the only one that has a concrete event that marks the start of the generation and everyone else has been arbitrarily kludged into vague 20 year periods around them, occasionally based around important events but always after the fact.

Your diagnosis is correct - the realities are incommensurable, and even if you find some common ground you came to it from different places and you'll be going to different places afterwards. These people can't be reasoned with or converted, only defeated. It sucks when it's people close to you, but the only way I've found to deal with is to never talk about politics with them, and if they try to anyway (they will) remove yourself from the situation. Fake a phone call, go to the toilet, whatever it takes. For your own health, frankly. Or sever

These people can't follow the rules of the road but they are tasked to vote with a little bit of savvy? Its freaking crazy.

One of the great things about Trump getting booed out of sports events, but in particular the UFC match is that sports events are one of the places you can traditionally go as a colossal piece of poo poo waste of space unambiguously bad guy and still remain mostly unbothered by people. Considering who normally fills the front rows of major fights, being the most unliked person in the building is a frankly extraordinary act.

There was a lot of stuff in his past about native americans building competing casinos, and there was also a deal with a massachusets native american tribe that fell through after he put up a bunch of money. Still reprehensible though.

Furnaceface posted:
The article says he was declared brain dead and then had the ventilator removed. Brain dead isn't some colloquial term, it's actually just "death by neurologic criteria" and is the same as "dead". That patient died. They removed the ventilator because the patient was dead, despite having a heartbeat. The article is conflating, whether accidentally or deliberately, the idea that "brain dead" means something like a persistent vegetative state or coma, which it doesn't. There's a lot of strict criteria that goes into a declaration of death by neurologic diagnosis. So yeah, there's still some shittiness with ICE in general here, and the refusal of a visa, but it wasn't like the hospital staff just removed someone from life support. The patient was legally dead.

Doctor Spaceman posted:https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1191708086140047361?s=19 Is the new president of Mexico some right wing authoritarian shithead or does he still take Nieto criticizing him personally and the new guy not being him and possibly not having criticized him makes him automatically "great"? I geel like it could be either, like its just weird to see Trump say someone is great outside of those two scenarios.
